UCSD vs GATech?

<p>I just recently got into both GATech and UCSD and I'm looking to do a bio/biomedical engineering program. I've checked out both programs quite thoroughly and it seems that both are tops in the field. I seem to be at some sort of stalemate as to deciding where to go between the two and was wondering if anyone could provide new insight as to the differences between the two schools that could act as a "tiebreaker" of sorts. I got accepted to the Thurgood Marshal school at UCSD in the honors program which is appealing to me in terms of academics, but in terms of actual living, I like big city life much better and therefore might like Atlanta as a home better. However, its not like I hate San Diego (I live in CA) and I would very much like warm weather and nice beaches, so location is also in stalemate for me. And also, even though from my impression the bioengineering programs are identical in terms of ranking and quality, is there any difference that I might not know of atm? </p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Thanks ^^</p>

<p>Well if the programs and location are absolutely identical to you, then it all boils down to which kind of food you like more: Mexican or Southern. :) Atlanta also has the slight black mark of having occasional tornadoes rip through its downtown.</p>

<p>PS -- I'd be very surprised if anyone on the GATech forum knows about TMC!</p>
